How to stop the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19)

This guidance is for everyone to help reduce the risk of catching coronavirus (COVID-19) and passing it on to others.

By following these steps, you will help to protect yourself, your loved ones and those in your community.

The main way of spreading COVID-19 is through close contact with an infected person.

These particles can be breathed in by another person.
